[Zope] Session to session id to session (_ZopeId)

[Peter Bengtsson]

I see. It's not the session id I'm after, it's the browser hook id
that looks like this:
28010048A1iovKNvhGY

I want to use SESSIONs in XML-RPC. I thought reading this advice from
Jim Washington (
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2004-August/152576.html) would
solve all my problems but it didn't work. Have only tested in
Zope2.6.2.

It appears the session_id_manager keeps generating new browser id's
instead of letting me reuse the one I have an id for.
I've tried the following code in the method that takes the session
browser id for a parameter::


 print _zopeid
 self.REQUEST.set('_ZopeId', _zopeid)
 print self.REQUEST.SESSION

But the result is stupidly::

 35536076A1ioxSHjfMw
 id: 10983612680251881408, token: 77363729A1ioxSI7RwA, contents: []

I've also tried::

 print  sessionid
 self.REQUEST.SESSION.getBrowserIdManager().setBrowserIdCookieByForce(sessionid)
 print self.REQUEST.SESSION

But again the result is::

 60658721A1iox6BFVt0
 id: 10983614170647928785, token: 47355912A1iox6CjhWY, contents: []

What can I do with this browser id hook to get my session object back?
